To all whom it mdy concern:

Be itlk nown that we, HENRI'F. QDEN- KIROHEN and WILLIAMG. 'CowELL,cltizens of' the United States, residing at New Haven,

gin the -county of New Haven and State of gaOonhecticut, have inventedcertain newand useful .which the following is a speci cation, refer-Improvements in'Gluing-Machine s, of

ence being had therein to the accompanying -drawings.

Our mventionrelates to new and useful improvements in gluing-machines,and has for its object, among other things, the construction of a deviceofthis character which will automatically glue both sides of a paperstri for'a'box-covering.

0 these and other ends our invention consists in "thegluing-machinehaving certain details of construction and combinations of" parts, aswill be hereinafter described, and

' more articularly pointed out in the claims.

Re erring to the drawings in which, like numerals of reference designatelike parts in the several figures, Figure 1 is a sjglan'of ourimproved'glulng-machine complete. Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof.Fig. 3 is an elevar tion of the yoke' and' adjacent parts. Fig. 4

is an enlarged view of a portion of the scraper. Fig. 5 is a sectionalplan view thereof upon line A'B of Fig. 4; and Figs. 6 and 7 are a planand elevation, res ectively, of a modified form of scraper m ec anism.

In the practice of our lnvention we pro- 1 vide a glulng-roll .1, fixedupon a shaft 2, that is rotatably mounted upon the center pins 3,

. fixed in the lugs 4 on the trough 5, containing the liquid glue.Within the bracket 6 is I secured ar-rod 7, carrying a loosely-mountedarm 8, that is held against endwise movement by the collars 9.Thescraper 10 is adjustably secured within said arm by the screw 11 andhas a cylindrical bod portion that, terminates at one end in the lade12, which is curvedas'shown- Fig. 5, with a notch 13in the under edgethereof.

' In'front and rear of the roll lare the guiderods 14', which are fixedin collars 15., that are slidable u on a-rod 16, 'adjustably securedwithina lock'17,"mo'vably mounted upon Specification of Letters Patent.

the rod 7. These guide-rods are adjustable either toward or away fromthe axis of. the roll or parallel therewith, as desired.

Fixed within the lugs 18, integral with the trough 5, are the centerpins 19, that are con nected by the yoke 20. Adjustably secured uponthis yoke is a plate 21, carrying the downwardly-projecting guide-rods22 22.

Between the inner ends of the center-pins'19,

and mounted thereon is the'jguide-roll 23, which is integral with theshaft24. It 1s preferable that this guide-roll should be rotatablmounted' butin some cases we pre- Parallel'with the shaft 2 and upon onei of the strip, after which it passes under the guide-roll 23 and overthe scraper-rod '26,

.within the trough 5 and covers the underside which removes the excessor surplus glue therefrom. Guide-rods14'and 22 are so arranged that thestrip will pass over the gluing-r0111 and leave a ortion of the sameexposed upon either si e thereof, as shown in Fig. 1. h

The scraper 10 is so adjusted that the blade 12-will lie with a portionthereof uponthe top of the strip and the remaining portion upon theexposed periphery of the gluingroll,- as shown in Fig. 5. Duringtherotat on of the roll the glue from the exposed portlon thereof will bescraped therefrom b the blade 12 and thrown onto the top of t e. strip28 b reason of the angle and curv'atureof saidv 4 b ade, andonlyaportion thGl'GOfIWlll pass through the'notch. 13, such portion remainingshaped and sized'that it will only permit a predetermined quantity ofglue to pass there-' through. The roll 23 is adjusted so as only.

This manner of gluing the 313111)does not distribute the glue as uniformly as by the use of the notch 13,but for certain qualities of glue and work it is preferable.

As hereinbefore described, the blade 12 is held upon top of the roll bygravity; but, if desired, it may be held thereon with a uniformmechanical tension, and in Figs. 6 and 7 I have shown. one form ofmechanism by which this may-be accomplished, in which the numeral 29designates a carrier which is fixed on the rod 7, 30 a swivelblockpivotally mounted upon said carrier, 10 the scraper,

lug

swivel-block 30, and 32 a' coil-spring surrounding said screw andabutting against said in and swivel-block. By the adjustmerit o thethreaded rod 31 and spring 32 the blade 12 may be caused to lie upon thepaper and roll with the exact pressure.

There are minor changes and alterations that can be made within ourinvention aside from those herein suggested, and we would therefore haveit understood that we do not limit ourselves to the exact constructionherein shown and described, but claim all that falls fairly within thespirit and scope of our invention.

Having described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is
